A STORY WORTH REMEMBERING
Photography isn’t just about appearances; it’s about feelings. It’s about quiet moments and those in-between glances. It’s about the raw emotion you only notice when it’s gone.
My approach is cinematic and genuine. It centers on atmosphere, light, and human connection. I strive to capture people as they truly are—without excessive posing or polishing. I want them to feel real, present, and alive in the moment.

I’M CORY MICHAEL SMITH
A PHOTOGRAPHER FOCUSED
ON REAL
CONNECTION
I’ve been drawn to art for as long as I can remember. Photography started as something I explored growing up; it was a way to observe, create, and understand the world around me. In 2023, I decided to fully embrace that passion.
Today, I use my camera to connect with others. I’m inspired by people, emotions, light and shadow, and by moments that feel real instead of staged. Black and white images play a significant role in my work. They let emotion take the lead and strip things back to what truly matters. My goal is simple: to connect with people and provide them with something honest, beautiful, and timeless to remember.
